On this week’s Sunday Brunch we say goodbye to a pioneering member of the CBGB’s scene, synth-punk cum rockabilly rowdy Alan Vega (pictured), who was one-half of the group Suicide. We begin with a trio of his songs before heading off to explore the usual eclectic hodgepodge of post-punk, indie, and underground rock tunes. This week we’ll hear from Sonic Youth, Felt, The Breeders, Flat Duo Jets, Big Black, Low, The Bollock Brothers, XTC, Unrest, Lydia Lunch, Game Theory, The Vibrators, The Damned, The Bolshoi, Spacemen 3, The Slickee Boys, and lots more.
